A fall before Rising:
“The Story of Jai Jaikumar”...Takeaways….
 “A debt to repay”…lucky to have jumped to the right side and
survived; lucky to have walked in the right direction after his slide; lucky to
have stumbled upon the hut and its incredibly generous occupant and lucky
to have recovered well as he did… ”luck extended beyond the
accident”…’the parents and family who raised him and the education he
received…’Jai resolved to do something to improve the “luck” of the villagers
and build a school
 “Outliers”-Malcolm Gladwell… Warren Buffet…
”Ovarian Lottery Ticket”...impelling him to give back liberally;
 ”In Life be sincere, not serious about yourself and others”.. .Jai
encouraged students to relax and through his own example, enjoy and
celebrate life,recognise their advantaged positions and fulfill obligations to the
less fortunate in society
 Albert Einstein: “ Not everything that counts can be counted and not
everything that can be counted counts”
(sign which Einstein used to hang outside his office in Princeton University)

 Fortunate people’s responsibility: To give back to Society


 ‘Success is born in good fortune and
obligation is born in success’
